Desire

Second place, LaQuiz.

The ranking on the homepage is not public, but Laquis has a level of 34. He chose only superpowers among the two expertise skills available in the tutorial, the ones he chose were 'Teleport’ and ‘Sniping’.

Superpowers are similar to magic but different. Magical ingenuity is required to express magic, but superpowers do not need ingenuity. The trigger for expressing a superpower is the will, that's all. That's why superpowers are fast. There are almost no magical procedures for expression, so we have to be quick.

However, this does not mean that the superpower is superior to magic. Superpowers are fast, but magic varies. While it is only possible to apply the selected superpower to the limit, magic can use a myriad of enchantments within the chosen discipline. After all, there's no such thing as superior technology.

However, technology has a different power depending on who uses it. That's why Laquis' superpower was strong. Appropriate for ranking second, he was able to perfectly handle the teleport and sniffing of his choice and became a top class ranker.

“Can I help you? ”

The teleport can move anywhere if it is in sight. It costs a lot of mental strength depending on the distance, but if you use it well, you won't have better superpowers than this. After a quick appearance at the top of the cliff next to Daisy, Laquiz laughs at her and talks. Daisy, who stood up staggering with a spear as a cane, looks at herself and smiles, startled and hesitates.

“No, you don't have to be so surprised.”

Laquis mutters with a blurry face and glances at the Harpies in the air. The harpies were 11 when the number of birds blew up. Laquis looks at it and frowns.

The Cliff of Endorsement is a very tricky hunting ground. Even if you go through the passageway and climb a cliff, the number of Harpies that make this place their territory is untold, so if you want to penetrate the Thorn Forest and reach the Blue Volcano, you'll have to deal with hundreds of Harpies. Even if you catch a Harpy attacking, the Harpies keep attacking you. As it turns out, it has not been conquered, nor has it ever reached the Blue Volcano.

Watching the fluttering flapping wings, Laquis takes a small step backwards. Then he quickly checks the numbers. There's a man with a strange aerial technique and a woman with a spear. Tanker, wizard. I've never seen him use magic, so he must be a healer.

I told you to be overwhelming. ’

The sea I hoped for. Laquis frowns as he looks up at the Harpies. In fact, after gaining this power, I felt like going crazy because I wanted to try it properly once. Had it not been for Hassen, who was staring at his side, he would have jumped off a cliff and fought the Harpies right away. Now that I've had the opportunity to look forward to it, Laquis is determined to use his strength until he is satisfied.

“.. who are you? ”

Azin asks for Laquis, looking up at the Harpies with a confident attitude. NPC or Player? How the hell did he show up? Azin looks at Laquis as he calms down all his doubts. A simple outfit with blond hair and no armor. I look around quickly, but I can't see anyone else.

“I'm a player.”

Laquis glances at Azin and asks. At that moment, the Harpies were flapping their wings in the air. It was the same with the Harpies, who were overwhelmed by the sudden break-in of Laquis, and they eventually attacked while looking into the situation. He seems to have recognized LaQuiz as a prey. Laquis smiles as he looks at the flying Harpies.

He raises his right hand high.

- It was two days ago that LaQuiz met with Hazen. He has lived a life of moderate wandering through the woods of pain without going to a fixed party. At first, I was able to maintain my ranking while raising my subordinate level and skills, but there was a lot of fun in First's world without having to rely on it. He captured an inn in the port city of Rochester and used it as a base for hunting in the Forest of Pain and enjoyed this kind of commotion. I made friends with NPC and did quests.

Meanwhile, he received a quest from an old man. The Cliff of Endorsement asked you to gather Harpy Feathers there and bring them to them. The harbour city and the forest of the Pope were quite far away, but the conditions of the old man's reward were tremendous, and Lachish reached the cliffs of the Pope through the Forest of Silence.

Catching the Harpy in the crossroads, he climbs up the cliff. He was hunting the right Harpies.

Hassen, who appeared first, grabbed him by the neck.

‘Well, it's a good thing to think about it. ’

He concentrates his mind while conscious of the hand he held. A large amount of mental power began to escape. The superpower that Hazen used to resist and forcibly transfer to Laquis.

"Fresh."

- Kwazac! The harpies flying in the air were all shot down to the ground, as was the handiwork of LaQuiz.... Queek! The ground trembles, and the bodies of the Harpies start to crumble. This superpower exerts pressure in the direction specified by the user. It is now only possible to exert pressure outside of one direction due to the low skill level of Laquis, and its power is not strong - but it is sufficient to push the monsters of the air to the ground.

“Wow."

Daisy mutters in a surprised voice as Lina heals her arm's wounds. The power of Laquis, who took down the Harpies that made them so stubborn, was astonishing. He takes a deep breath and spends more of his energy. - Kwajic! The bones of the Harpies that eventually failed to overcome the power taken down were crushed and crushed.

“What, what is it? ”

When Daisy asked him a question, he felt relieved. It's a superpower that consumes terrifying MP, but it doesn't have skills like this against flying Harpies. It is a superpower that is applied to the space itself, so the scope is quite wide.

‘It's hard to break the cliff. ’

I felt bad about it. What Hazen asked Laquis to do was to bring down the entire cliff across from him. That's ridiculous. Fresher's skill level is still 2. After looking at the cliffs for a long time, the growth grew longer, and the cliffs fell a little from the top, but nothing collapsed.

‘.. it's amazing how things turn out. ’

Laquis glances back after clearing out the Harpies. He tilts his head toward Azin, staring at him.

I said no balls, but that was...

The red force that was expanding. The devastating power that tore down a piece of the cliff in an instant. He met quite a lot of players during the game, but he had never seen such aggressive players or skills. Even a wizard who practiced fire-based magic would not be able to wield such power within such distances. It's the same with LaQuiz. The superpower he chose in the tutorial, sniffing, is a simple attack-focused superpower that shoots energy in the direction of gathering and pointing it at his fingers. The skill level for sniffing is 28. If I pour my mind all at once, will I be able to achieve that much power? I couldn't be sure.

“Superpowers.”

LaQuiz replies late. He scratches his head, lowering his head slightly towards everyone.

“Well, it's nice to meet you. It's called LaQuiz.”

“.. why did you help us? ”

Ajin asks with boundaries in his voice. Lachish smiles vaguely at the question. What should I say? You don't want to do it, so you can make me feel better?

“It looked dangerous. ”

It surrounds you adequately. It wasn't a lie. Akin's eyes narrow in Laquis' reply.

"What the fuck? ’

Ajin just remembers what LaQuiz looked like. A Harpy in the air with a single palm movement. Superpowers? If you think about it, there are quite a lot of superpowers in that form. But what kind of superpower is that?

“Maybe we should discuss the details later and move on. ”

Lachish glances at the cliff where Hassen is. The attack on the Harpies is not over yet. The Harpies are already flapping their wings in another hole. The refresher is consuming and cannot be used frequently. It was impossible for Laquis to clear out all the Harpies who were still standing here.

“.. will you continue to help me? ”

Azin asked again. In response, LaQuiz nods loudly. Hasen didn't tell me how long to come back. I'll kill some time here, but if you want to go back now, it won't be a problem.

‘We can't miss this opportunity. ’

All I had to do was sit there all day staring at the cliff and open the refresher. It was neither fun nor dreadfully boring.

“Well, thank you. ”

There's no reason to refuse when they say they'll help us. The identity of Laquis was unclear, but I did not intend to kick the favor I gave him right away. Under no circumstances can this party withstand an attack by Harpies. A means of killing Harpies that fly freely in the air does not exist at this party. It may not be possible for him to do too much, but if LaQuiz helps, he doesn't have to.

‘Recovery is fast. ’

Azin thought, pouting on the status window. Recovery Speed is greatly increased by the title of the Wolf Slayer. Due to the internal air that continues to rotate through the bloodstream method, the strength that had fallen by more than half had already been restored to close to 80%.

No one complained about continuing to move. The sewers stand at the forefront without slowing their guard. It makes no sense to put an attack falling from the air in front of the tanker. The role of the tanker is meaningless in the present situation, as it was not a situation that would have drawn him in the first place, nor would it have existed.

“Let's move with moderate restraint. ”

Laquis points at the flying Harpy with his fingers raised. Phew! The blue laser shoots from his fingertips and makes the Harpies retreat. Fit! He continues to use sniffing to block Harpies' approach.

‘It's still unclear what he's up to... but it doesn't look like much of a threat. ’

Looking at LaQuiz like that, he narrowed his eyes. He seemed to have specialized in only superpowers. There are, perhaps, three superpowers to use. There may be more, but there were three superpowers that Azin immediately recognized. That thing that shoots lasers at your fingers, it's supernatural to see that it doesn't have genitals.

‘Sniping.’

I remember seeing it in the archives of superpowers. The skill level appears to be quite high after using it spontaneously. What appeared before must have been a teleport. However, it was unclear what the harpy's superpower was.

“Why is Laquis here? ”

With Laquis holding back the Harpies, the pace of movement certainly speeds up. The Harpies aren't getting close enough to Laquis' attacks as he continues to fire. LaQuiz was busy aiming at the Harpies to roll his eyes quickly, but he couldn't help but speak.

“Well, I just have some business to attend to. ”

“Alone?”

“Well, yeah. ”

Really? There's no need to lie, so Ajin decides to take Laquis' word for it. For now, it was clear that LaQuiz was doing the right thing. There is no reason to refuse help. I don't know how long you plan on helping me, but you might want to use it while you're ready to help me.
